Is it possible to install Solaris 10 without burning it onto CDs?

December 16, 2006
Hai!
Have downloaded Solaris 10 OS, x86, for downloading onto WINDOWS ONLY Platform - Solaris 10 11/06 Operating System. They are Solaris 10 11/06 x86 CD 1 to CD5.
I don't have a CD writer or DVD writer to burn the software onto CDs and then install it. Kindly let me know if it is possible to install the software without burning it onto CDs.
Best Regards,
Kartheek D. N.

Without a jumpstart server you would need to burn the DVD or at least the first CD, then you'ld boot of the first CD and install the initial OS. Once the OS have rebooted after the first install, you can install the software available on the remaining four cd's by mounting them with "lofiadm", "mount" and running the installer on the CD-images.
If you have another Sun system, you can create a jumpstart from the ISO files in a similar way, there is an infodoc which describes how to create an image from the first CD.

Possible to install HD-DVD Burner in iMac G4?

Hi, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install HD-DVD burner in a iMac G4? Anyone tried this?

I know that Toast Titanium 8 for Mac supports Blu-Ray burning (Apple's loyalties are in the Blu-Ray not the HD DVD camp) but the G4 is not a processor I'd ever want to be encoding HD in. The G4 wouldn't even be up to playing discs. So I think you could do it with a Blu-Ray drive but you shouldn't do it. I hate having to wait whilst an SD DVD encodes HD is at least four times longer. Remember Apple hasn't put a HD spec burner in even it's 8-core Mac Pro yet!

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

Is it possible to install solaris on unformated disk?

Hi!
Is it possible to install solaris8 on scsi unformated disk,the new purchased one?It's gonna be the only one disk in workstation,becouse the old one faild.Any ideas?
Thank you.

This is a normal problem with new disks. Since I use jumpstart I have since adjusted and the server autoformats the disks for me. Since you are on a singe platform my suggestion is that you do a boot cdrom and then when the installer gets to a stopping point (at the beginning) just open a new ternimal window and then type format. All that needs to be done is labeling the drive, nothing else. Afterword you can close the window and proceed with the installation. You MUST not proceed with the install until the drive is labeled. So the second that the desktop comes up open the 2nd terminal window by right clicking the mouse and chosing host > terminal.

Is it possible to install Lion without an internet connection?

I have the Lion Thumb drive but it just pop's up a dialog box saying that it can't download the additional components. What additional components are there?
Surely this defeats the point of having an install drive if it still requires the internet to complete the install.
I have a Mac Pro at Work that only has a dial up connection, I thought the thumb drive was the answer but it seems I was wrong.
Switching the dial up on during installation gets past the first problem mentioned above but then it still doesn't work because the installer kicks you out after restarting in the Lion boot sequence because, you guessed it, No internet connection!
Any suggestions Apple? or anyone?

Thaks for the reply, I agree it is a little dumb, they even state on the website thumb drive page that
" If you don't have broadband access, you can visit any Apple Retail Store to get help with downloading. Or you can order theOS X Lion USB Thumb Drive from the Apple Online Store."
But clearly this is just not true as the installer requires a connection before it will even load anything. Is it possible they got the software installation wrong on the thumbdrive?
I have posted a bug report for what good it will do.
It is also a presumption that everybody has 3.4GB of download data spare for whenever they need to download. My mobile limit is 6GB. If I am on the raod and have trouble, I cannot download even twice. It's ok at home or for anybody with large amounts of download data, but still time consuming. I love having my install discs handy at all times, and even burning a Lion DVD really messes up my nice collection of OS Install Discs! (lol on that bit)
You need to make sure you are with a reliable IP server as well.

Is it possible to install Solaris 10 from Hard-Disk

Linux support installation from HD, will it be possible in solaris?

I am having similar problems. It reads the x86.miniroot files, displays a copyright notice and hangs.
If Solaris cannot run in a Virtual Server, it pretty much useless to me :-(

Is it possible to update OVS documentation? It think, it's quite important to have such example of configuration.

Is it possible to install drivers without service pack

Hi all, I just got my creative zen 8gb player but I am having a problems syncing to the computer. My problem is that I can not install service pack or 2 because my windows somehow does not allow it. So my question is, is there any way I can install some sort of program that would detect the device and be able to transfer over music? Ive tried it on my sisters computer with sp2 and it worked perfectly but I need it to work with my computer which does not have sp2 and will not be able to. -Thanks in advance

Even if your friends product is legit it's in use & the license is only good for one computer. That's why you can't update it. Microsoft did not become the giant it is without safeguards built in the software. Yes you have an O.S. but you can't update it. Makes your system very vulnerable to attacks from viruses & malware because of it. If he is no longer using it then you may be able to get Microsoft to help you get it updated. As I'm sure you know suppose the copy is legit & you had to change the motherboard & other major components like the processor. You could have a problem with windows not validating the copy as legit. So call them or buy one.

Is it possible to install FCS 5.1 (Academic) onto an newer iMac with Lion?

So i have Final Cut Studio 5.1 (Academic). When I tried to install on my New Imac, it would not allow me to do so. I've heard that the installer is PPC, but the software itself is Universal. Is this true? And if so, can someone let me know how I can install it?? Would really appreciate the love!

Niel,
Thanks, so if I format it all as APM I can either clone OSX 10.4.11 which I have on my internal now. If I do a backup of my intel and Powerbook PC both of those will already have Tiger on them so do I need to do another Tiger install on each of those partitions?
Also by doing it this way I can't boot from a parition onto my intel can I?
Guess I'll have to weigh whose system is more important or just back up her drive as GUID on my computer and she can restore from it if she has too but won't be able to boot from it.

Help me in Installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition X 86

Hi,
Help me in installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition
When i am trying to install Solaris, system hangs and the moniter is switcher off when the system goes in GUI mode.
i have intel 945GTP mother board with as on board Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Drives , Chipset -> Intle 945G , 160 SATA Hard Disk, 1 GB DDR2 Ram , P4 3.Ghz Processer , on board Intel PRO/100 VE Network Card.
Please,Help me.
Thanking you,

Hello,
first of all: Try to run the HCTS (Hardware
Compatibility Test Suite) first, it's available
here:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.htm
l
This you can run from Windows, and it will list all
hardware that has drivers, and all those, that do not
have drivers (including some public domain drivers).
After that, you have the possibility to install
Solaris WITHOUT a GUI, use one of the two "terminal"
modes. The first Is still a GUI, as it only starts X
and opens a terminal, in which then the installer
runs. The second does NOT start X, but runs the
installer on the console. Try this one, and once you
get through that, you can afterwards figure out the
settings of the Xserver.Hi ,
i have installed the solaris using console.
Still GUI is not starting, the moniter is switched off when GUI gets started
I used Hardware Compatibility Test Suite, its say that system is supported
by Solaris.
Should i have change BIOS setting to stated the system
